Abstrakt: Researchers at Universidad San Sebastian have published a study on the role of the immunoproteasome in hypothalamic neurons as a potential therapeutic strategy for high-fat diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysregulation. The study found that the immunoproteasome levels were increased in hypothalamic neurons of obese mice fed a high-fat diet. This increase was associated with decreased autophagy and disrupted insulin-glucose axis. The researchers also demonstrated that an immunoproteasome inhibitor prevented the imbalance in the insulin-glucose axis and preserved mitochondrial function. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying obesity-related metabolic diseases and offer potential avenues for developing novel therapeutic interventions.
